My overall experience with Vijay, via this course, was exceptional. It was a little difficult to understand him at first, however, as the course progressed I got used to his accent. I guess his wit had something to do with it. The course is very engaging and thought provoking and I will highly recommend it to others considering furthering their knowledge and skills in PowerShell.
